Art Journal Challenge for July at Jessica Sprague.com

     The AJ challenge this month at JS.com is to use circles.  I noticed that most of my layouts so far have had hearts in them, so this would be a good change.  I came across a new layout by Lynne Marie and saw the circles and immediately knew I could use it for this layout.  The weirdness of the layout also was attractive to me.
     Brian and I were out in the dark trying to do light painting for my Night Photography class at JS.com and I thought about the darkness of this kit, it made a good fit.  I wanted to use my eyes in some way, but I wear glasses and I didn't want my glasses to be in the layout.  So I played around with the selection tool and extracted one eye.  I didn't have a firm idea of where to place the eyes.... then I stuck them on the flowers -- weird! or maybe gross? -- definitely weird.  I came up with the title after that.  It goes with the eyeball flowers and the night photography all mushed together.... guess that's what art journaling is all about.
